2000 Annual Report - page 6 of 70

Looking forward, the Postal Service’s journey gets no easier. Keeping our prices affordable, our costs down and our revenue growing through valued products and services is a mandate we all have to embrace.

One of our greatest challenges is addressing a competitive environment that is changing at an ever-increasing speed while constrained by a regulatory charter that is nearly three decades old. We will continue to press for regulatory reform, seeking a new charter that includes pricing flexibility, the ability to introduce the new products defined by our customer’s needs, and investment versatility.

We must stay this course to remain the great American institution that we are, binding the Nation together, reaching all of its citizens through universal access and service, and delivering our promise.

Sincerely,
William J. Henderson signature
